Trans Drain Plug: What is this thing?

[insite]

never seen this fastner before. trying to change the gear oil ('99 box, 5-speed). not sure what this fastner is called and where to get the tool. it looks like a triple or quadrouple square tamper proof plug.

I also have the Hazet version but other companies make them and if you look around they cost less than Hazet. Search on ebay under Audi/VW drain plug.

Here is one for $7. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VIM-16mm-XZ...sspagenameZWDVW
